20 Movies Starring Arrow Actors In 2016

8. Lost In The Pacific (Brandon Routh)

Poor Brandon Routh. The talented, charismatic actor was given the big screen role of a lifetime only to see the gig weighed down by a poor script and some slack plot points. Yes, I€™m talking about his turn as the titular Man of Steel in Bryan Singer€™s Superman Returns. Seemingly destined for the Hollywood A-list once he€™d landed the role of the Last Son of Krypton, all turned sour for Routh€™s career when Superman Returns largely bombed with critics and fans alike. Having floated from gig to gig, the actor turned up as Ray Palmer/The Atom during Season 3 of Arrow and has now gone on to star in The CW€™s latest DC-based effort, Legends of Tomorrow. Whilst Legends will air throughout this year, Routh will also be headlining Lost in the Pacific, a film focussed on the debut flight of a luxury aircraft that has to land on a deserted island due to a ferocious storm over the Pacific Ocean. Set to be a straight-to-DVD effort in most markets, the film will actually get a cinematic release in Asia. Release Date: February 8th

Once described as the Swiss Army Knife of WhatCulture, Andrew can usually be found writing, editing, or presenting on a wide range of topics. As a lifelong wrestling fan, horror obsessive, and comic book nerd, he's been covering those topics professionally as far back as 2010. In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic. Between his main day job, his role as the lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund, Kane Hodder, Adrienne Barbeau, Rob Zombie, Katharine Isabelle, Leigh Whannell, Bruce Campbell, and Tony Todd, to Kevin Smith, Ron Perlman, Elijah Wood, Giancarlo Esposito, Simon Pegg, Charlie Cox, the Russo Brothers, and Brian Blessed, to Kevin Conroy, Paul Dini, Tara Strong, Will Friedle, Burt Ward, Andrea Romano, Frank Miller, and Rob Liefeld, to Bret Hart, Sting, Mick Foley, Ricky Starks/Saints, Jamie Hayter, Britt Baker, Eric Bischoff, and William Regal, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, Brian Flynn, Denis Smith, Gary Bennett, Karl Connolly, and Bryan Robson - and that's just the tip of an ever-expanding iceberg. Where his beloved Wrexham AFC is concerned, Andrew is co-host of the Fearless in Devotion podcast, which won the Club Podcast of the Year gong at the 2024 FSA Awards.
